Verse 1
They send out
invitation
To the whole population
Of our l’il nation
A wedding celebration beyond
imagination
Down in the stadium
And if you see the crowd
Come out, come out
From east, west, north and south
From all - about....
Chorus 1
And then so
suddenly
King Machel and Iwer
Faye-Ann, Kes and Super
Appear on the bannister
Tassa was best man
Together with steelband
Everybody happy
For the wedding of the century
Was no dulahin, and no dulaha
It was the wedding - of Chutney and
Soca
Ai yai ya, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Ah ha ha, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Verse 2
For such a big
occasion
They couldn’t depend on one man
He couldn’t handle it
So they decide to invite
A priest, imam and pundit
To preside over it
Women in dey sari - pretty, pretty
And men in dashiki - happy, happy
Chorus 2
And then so
suddenly
Drupati and Bunji
K.I., Blaxx and Destra
Appear on the bannister
Tassa was best man
Together with steelband
Everybody happy
For the wedding of the century
Was no dulahin, and no dulaha
It was the wedding - of Chutney and
Soca
Ai yai ya, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Ah ha ha, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Verse 3
Ah see Selwyn from
Toco
Limin’ with Sat and Cro Cro
They couldn’ pull them apart
Khafra was in a dhoti
Devant in ah dashiki
That really touch my heart
Is then ah start to see, to see, to
see
What Trinbago could be
Could be, could be
Chorus 3
And then so
suddenly
Ray Holman and Boogsie
Rikki Jai and Karma
Start jammin’ some sweet soca
And then the steelband
Playin’ chutney on pan
Plus a rhythm section
It was mayhem in the stadium
Was no dulahin, and no dulaha
It was the wedding - of Chutney and
Soca
Ai yai ya, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Ah ha ha, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Ai yai ya, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
Ah ha ha, oh yo yoi,
The wedding - of Chutney and Soca
